This section describes the use of the Adabas dump formatting tool ADAFDP.
ADAFDP is the address space dump formatting module. During abnormal shutdown of the Adabas nucleus, this module receives control to format and display information that should help you analyze the reason for the error.
During a nucleus shutdown, ADAMPM determines the shutdown reason. If the reason is abnormal termination, ADAMPM loads the ADAFDP module into the address space prior to the 20 call to the Adabas SVC. ADAFDP subsequently receives control to format nucleus information.
If ADAFDP cannot be loaded, message ADAF03 is written to the console and abnormal shutdown continues.
Much of the information formatted by ADAFDP is self-explanatory. However, because the type and amount of information depends on the shutdown situation, a summary of ADAFDP output is provided in this section.
| Message | Description |
|---|---|
| ADAH51 / ADAH52 |
The message is displayed on the console and written to DDPRINT at the point where the format begins and terminates. |
| ADAMPM ABEND CODE and PSW |
If an Abend code and program status word (PSW) were saved in ADAMPM by the Adabas ESTAE, ADAFDP displays these. In addition, ADAFDP determines the module whose entry point best fits the PSW and calculates the offset within that module. If the ADAMPM abend code and PSW are zero, ADAFDP does not format this information. |
| ADABAS MODULE LOCATIONS |
ADAFDP formats and displays the location of each of the Adabas nucleus modules resident in the address space. |
| ADDRESS LOCATIONS FOR USER EXITS |
ADAFDP formats and displays the location of any user exit loaded with the Adabas nucleus. |
| ADDRESS LOCATIONS FOR HYPEREXITS |
ADAFDP formats and displays the location of any hyperexit loaded with the Adabas nucleus. Hyperexits 10-31 are displayed as A-U, respectively. |
| ADANC0 STANDARD REGISTER SAVE AREA |
Registers 0-7/8-F, which are saved in ADANC0. ADAFDP determines if any of these registers contains an address that points at a nucleus pool in storage. If yes, ADAFDP indicates which pool and snaps storage at that address. If the register is 12 and it points to a user thread, ADAFDP snaps the entire thread. |
| ADANC0 ABEND SAVE REGISTERS |
Registers 0-7/8-F, which are saved in ADANC0 as a result of a user abend. ADAFDP determines if any of these saved registers contains an address that points at a nucleus pool in storage. If yes, ADAFDP indicates which pool and snaps storage at that location. If the saved register is 12 and it points to a user thread, ADAFDP snaps the entire thread. |
| ADAMPM SAVE REGISTERS |
Registers 0-7/8-F, which were saved in ADAMPM by the Adabas ESTAE. These are the same registers displayed with the ADAM99 message. ADAFDP determines if any of these saved registers contains an address that points within a nucleus pool in storage. If yes, ADAFDP indicates which pool and snaps storage at that location. |
| BEGIN / ENDING ADDRESSES OF POOLS / TABLES |
ADAFDP determines begin/ending address locations for pools and tables for the Adabas nucleus. These addresses are presented for easy location in the actual dump. See Pool Abbreviations for more information. |
| ADABAS THREADS |
ADAFDP formats the physical threads including threads 0, -1, and -2. The number of lines depends on the value of NT. The thread that was active at the time of the abnormal termination (if any) is marked by a pointer “- ->”. |
| USER THREADS |
For any of the threads -2 to NT that had assigned work to perform, ADAFDP formats and displays information about the status of that thread. See User Threads for more information: |
| FOLLOWING COMMANDS WERE FOUND IN THE CMD QUEUE |
ADAFDP scans the command queue and formats information for any command found in the queue. See Command Information for more information. |
| POOL INTEGRITY CHECK |
ADAFDP check the integrity of several pools within the Adabas nucleus address space. If an error is detected within that pool, ADAFDP indicates which pool and what type of error was encountered. In addition, ADAFDP snaps storage at the location where the error was detected. |
| FOLLOWING RABNS / FILES ACTIVE IN BUFFER POOL |
ADAFDP scans the buffer pool header for RABNs that were active or being updated. See RABN Information for more information. |
| ADAIOR REGS FOUND AT OFFSET X'080' |
Registers 0-7/8-F found saved in ADAIOR at this offset. If ADAFDP determines that any of these register values is pointing within an Adabas pool, it snaps storage at that location. |
| ADAIOR REGS FOUND AT OFFSET X'0C0' |
Registers 0-7/8-F found saved in ADAIOR at this offset. If ADAFDP determines that any of these register values is pointing within an Adabas pool, it snaps storage at that location. |
| ICCB POINTED FROM X'A0' IN IOR |
The ICCB address to which this offset in ADAIOR points. |
| ADAI22 ADAIOR TRACE TABLE |
Format of ADAIOR trace table; same as that found with the ADAM99 message. |
